--------------------------

Uzumaki Naruto heaved a sigh as he moved his small orange cellphone from one ear to the other, waiting for the person on the other line to say something. Honestly, if he didn't know any better, he could have sworn no one was there in the first place!

"So?" He drawled, clutching the phone tightly and shoving his free hand into the pockets of his baggy orange pants. In case you hadn't realized, orange was his color.

"So what?" Came a low bored voice in reply, obviously not interested in the least; Naruto could swear he could hear the sound of fingers typing on a keyboard in the background on the other line. He rolled his eyes.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"You were the one who called me, Uzumaki." Came the somber retort, his tone laced slightly with annoyance. Naruto huffed, pulling the small phone away from his face so he could glare at the screen, watching the seconds go by as it timed their conversation, if you could even call it that.

It was a fruitless gesture, considering his friend couldn't see the pouty scowl he was sending him. But that was just how he was, obnoxious and immature. He took pride in that. The blonde rolled his eyes, pressing the cellular back to his ear with a furrowed brow.

"C'mon Gaara, don't be that way..I thought we were friends!" He wailed, his pout still on full force as he ignored the curious and alarmed looks he got from a few passerby's.

Currently, he was walking down the unfamiliar sidewalks of the small neighborhood he'd just moved in to, trying to get a feel of things. It was better to know your surroundings and dissolve the chance of getting lost when you were in a pinch, right?

"'Thought' being the keyword." Gaara answered, a smirk evident in his voice. Though it was obvious he was just attempting to provoke the easily excitable blonde. Truth be told, they'de been friends since sometime in middle school.

Of course, at first they'de absolutely detested each other, coming to blows only moments after meeting each other on the first day of the 7th grade.

It had truly been a day to remember, the day Gaara Sabaku actually lost his cool as he tackled the hotheaded blonde in the middle of the lunch room. Naruto had just been acting like his usual obnoxious and ignorant self, which apparently had finally gotten on the redheads last nerve. Food flew and fists were thrown.

But in any case, a few bruises, a busted lip and a week of after school detentions later, the two were practically inseperable.

Since he'd lived alone most of the time, he spent it at Gaara's house. He even referred to the redhead and his older siblings as his own. They were family, at least as much of a family as he'd ever had. He cherished the fact that he wasn't as alone as he'd been before.

That was until now, though. Their junior year in highschool, when Naruto moved away. He wasn't really even sure if it counted as moving if he didn't leave the city. He'd just moved to a place on the complete other side of town then before, putting about a 15 minute drive in between them. He'd been rather depressed about the whole ordeal, considering that he was moving into a new district, which meant he'd have to attend a different school altogether.

Gaara and the others reassured him, though. Reminding him that they were there for him, and to call if he needed anything. Of course, Gaara wasn't one to be sentimental though, so he just snorted and said something about 'it's about time, you were getting annoying.'. That was considered a term of endearment in the language of Gaara, for those who knew what to look for.

'If ya need anything just give us a call, lil' bro.' Termari winked, giving the blonde a brief hug before pulling away and shooting him a smile, which quickly turned into a stern look that almost made him want to cower in fear. 'And if anyone hassles ya, just tell me and I'll beat their ass, okay?' She demanded, her possessive big sister instincts kicking in.

He'd just nodded with a slightly nervous expression and turned away, promising to call once everything was settled. Of course, he'd gotten bored, which was no surprise..So he'd resorted to calling up his best buddy to annoy him while he explored.

He'd never really known his parents, but he'd been taken in by a close family friend. He'd be lying if he said he had a terrible childhood. After all, he had a place to live and his new 'family'..What else could he possibly have wanted?

His guardian, a man named Jiraiya, was a rather notorious author/book writer, so he always away on 'business'. So, occasionally it would get a bit a lonley, but when he started to get that feeling, all he had to do was remember that he had friends who cared for him, and it always settled his nerves.

Honestly, he wasn't sure why they'de moved residences in the first place, considering Jiraiya was often gone anyway..Doing 'research' and promoting his new novels. They were pretty close, but Naruto never really stuck his nose in the old man's work. Everytime he'd tried before the white haired man would claim he was writing helpful educational texts, obviously trying to responsibly save his 'pure' mind.

Of course, Naruto knew it was pure bull. He often wondered if he should be proud that his guardian was a lechorous pervert who wrote porn books for a living.

That's right, Naruto happened to get a hold of a couple of the books Jiraiya had supposedly hidden in his study. Apparently the man had no dignity at all, writing such.. Detailed things. The blonde blushed just thinking about some of the things he'd read.

Naruto blinked out of his thoughts, pausing in his walking as he heard a small shuffle over the phone and the faint sound of a girls voice in the background. It was obviously Temari. There was another slight shuffle of the phone being moved around before Gaara returned.

"Naruto?" He asked, as if to make sure the blonde was still there.

"Yeah?"

"I've gotta go, I'll talk to you later." Was the clipped reply.

"Yeah, alright. See ya later then." Naruto said cheerfully with his usual toothy grin. Even if they hadn't spoken all that much in their time on the phone, he still felt a little less tense.

"Oh and Uzumaki." Gaara said thoughtfully. "Don't fuck up tomorrow." He deadpanned, obviously amused at his obviously lack of tact. It was sort of like one of those 'no pressure' situations. Naruto just grinned at the statement, translating the seemingly offending demand into something of 'good luck' in Gaara's words.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, princess." The blonde said sarcastically with a roll of his eyes, lowering the phone and disconnecting the conversation before Gaara could retort to his jab. He always picked on the redhead like that, since he seemed to have this thing for wearing makeup. Frankly, Naruto wasn't even sure if it actually came off in the first place, he'd never seen Gaara without his eyes rimmed in black.

Dropping his phone back into his pocket, Naruto glanced through the closed gates he'd stopped in front of, peering at his soon to be new school. There was nothing special about the place, it was probably the same size as his previous one, if not just a bit cleaner looking. He started their tomorrow, which kind of annoyed him.

Of all days to move and transfer to a new school, it had to be on a Sunday.

He wasn't sure if it was just him, but being a new student to a new school who's first day started on a Monday seemed like bad luck to him. Usually people were grumpy on Mondays, having been tired or stressed from their activities over the weekend. That would mean less leniency then he would get on any other weekday. Or maybe he was just looking to deep into things..

He tended to do that alot.

He pushed himself away from the fence, turning and walking back in the direction he came. Fortunately, the school was only about a block away from his new home, so there was no need to wake up at ungodly hours of the morning to catch a bus, or to try and find a good parking spot in the school parking lot. It was a short and fast walk, just down the street and around the corner. So if he was running a little late, he'd only be..Fashionably late instead of 'oh crap he's screwed' late.

It was still pretty early, but with his big day and all tomorrow..The blonde teen figured it would be best to head in a little early tonight. He was determined to be on time tomorrow, first impressions always stick, they say.

And when Uzumaki Naruto put his mind to something, he went through with it! If he said he wasn't going to be late, then by God he wasn't going to be!

--------------------------

He was late.

The gods hated him. It was blatantly obvious now. He'd accidently set his clock to seven thirty p.m instead of a.m!

And now.. Not only was he late..But he was late on his first day..Which happened to be a Monday!

"Just kill me now." He muttered to himself as he threw on the first things he randomly grabbed from his closet, which happened to be a blue shirt and his usual orange pants. Sure it was a bit flashy, but hey. It was his frist day, right? It was just a good thing the school didn't have any particular dress code, otherwise he would have been screwed.

Naruto was never really so arrogant as to claim he was extremely good looking, however he was aware that his appearance could be rather..Striking at times. With his spikey blonde hair and bright blue eyes, anyone would do a double take. He was even more obvious when wearing colors that contrasted his natural features.

Despite the hair and eyes, another thing that seemed to attract attention were the symmetrical whisker looking marks on either side of his face. He wasn't really sure how they'de gotten there, so he just assumed they were birth marks.

Much to his annoyance, he'd often gotten teased in middle school because they thought he drew them there, which had resulted in a few too many fights. He wasn't that starved for attention.

Naruto quickly rushed to his bathroom, brushing his teeth as he glanced at himself in the mirror to make sure he was presentable. He didn't even bother with his hair, the wild blonde locks poking out in every direction possible. He spit in the sink, rinsing off his toothbrush and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand before dropping the utensil back on the counter and making his way out, making sure to grab his wallet and phone off the side table for he left.

He didn't even bother with a book bag. If he got any books, there was no way in hell he was going to take them home, so it was pointless. As long as he had a pen, it was all good. Hopefully.

He reached the front gates of the school, panting for breath. He'd ran as fast as he could, not wanting to forsake himself further by being too late. He was relieved to see that he wasn't the only person, however, as he watched as a few stray students rushed into the front doors of the school.

If anything, he could just chalk it all up to being the new kid!

That didn't change the fact that he still had to go to the office and get his schedule and find the class.. He scowled slightly, stalking up the sidewalk and pulling open the heavy door that led into a large hallway. The cool air from the building felt good against his slightly flushed face as he entered, spotting what looked like the office just down the large aisle.

There was a long hall that seemed to intersect with another in the middle, giving the choice of going in four different directions. Each side was rowed with lockers in stacks of two; a bottom and a top. Naruto glanced around the large hall for a moment before quickly making his way toward the office at a fast pace, not wanting to waste time.

His excursion, however, came to an abrupt stop as another figured seemingly walked around the corner right in front of him, causing the two to collide. Naruto stumbled back a step or two, before sending a scowl in the offenders direction.

The boy was paler then him, around his height if not a little bit taller. He was wearing a pair of black shorts and a red shirt.

His hair was the complete opposite of Naruto's in color, black bangs framing the boys face while the back spiked out haphazardly, equally black eyes looking in his direction, but seemingly straight through him.

Naruto didn't wait for the guy to say anything as he sent a scowl at the boy. "What, are you blind?" He asked, annoyed at everything at that moment. "Why don't ya watch where you're goin'? Haven't ya ever heard the term 'look both ways before you cross the street?'" The blonde demanded, in all of his hot headed goodness.

The raven haired boy just scowled slightly and walked past him, bumping the blondes shoulder as he did. "You're the one that ran into me, dumbass." He said bluntly as he walked away without even sparing a glance, knowing the other teen heard him.

True enough, Naruto balled his fists at his sides as he glared at the bastards back as he walked away, the pale teens hand running along the wall beside him as he walked. He grit his teeth, wanting nothing more then to scream obscenities. However, deciding to at least try to keep it civil until the day was at least half over, Naruto begrudgingly turned and stalked into the office with his arms crossed over his chest.

--------------------------

From there, it was rather simple. Fortunately, they'de been expecting him and has his stuff was pretty much ready save for a couple of forms he had to fill out so that the school could put them on file. It had actually gone faster then he'd been hoping, because before he knew it, he was out in the hallway again, looking for his classroom.

It was only about ten minutes into class, so there was still a good forty-five minutes or so until the bell rang. He pouted slightly, coming to the door that had the same number written on his schedule and walking in, his pass in hand should the teacher ask for it.

The class was full of students, who looked on curiously as someone entered the room, however Naruto's attention was on the man standing in the front of the class, giving him a suspiciously cheerful smile. He was tall with grey-ish silver hair, a strange mask covering the bottom half of his face and another piece of cloth around his forehead and covering his left eye. Naruto glanced back at his schedule for a moment, to see if he had the right room.

Apparently he had this guy for both Health and History. What was with the mask..? Was this guy some sort of wierdo germo-phobe or what?

"So there you are, I was wondering if you were going to show up." The would be teacher explained, gesturing for him to step further into the classroom. "I've already announced you'de be here, so why don't you introduce yourself. Name and where you're from, if you don't mind." He said, his eyes making half moons, which made it obvious that he was grinning beneath the mask.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto and I came here from Suna Highschool." The blonde explained, earning himself a pat on the shoulder from his teacher, Kakashi.

"Alright then Naruto, you can have a seat right over there." Kakashi said, pointing toward an empty seat..Which just happened to be next to that prick he'd ran into in the hallway.

Their teacher obviously didn't see the glare Naruto shot the silent teen as he slowly made his way to his destination, dragging his feet in a silent pouting fashion. Kakashi made his way back to the front of the room, his sudden lapse of cheerfulness covered up by a rather bored and gloomy expression as he opened a small book he'd left on the podium. The class was idly chattering with one another, everyone seperating into their only little groups, save for a few who just sat silently, doing or just listening in on others.

The raven haired teen quirked a brow, having recognized that voice easily. He didn't move in the slightest as he heard the blondes footsteps headed in his direction. He wasn't really sure, but he was almost positive Kakashi had told him to sit in the desk directly next to his own.

He smirked, listening as the boy drew closer, his feet dragging ever so lightly on the ground, and at the last moment before he passed, stuck his foot out with perfect timeing, catching Naruto's foot as he moved to step forward. Naruto made a small sound of surprise before he fell face first into the ground in between his and the pale teens desks.

Everything in the class went quiet, their attention directed at what had just happened. Even Kakashi was staring, his eyes showing his suprise, but his mask covering his mouth which was slightly agape. Did that really just happen..?

"Ow, what the hell!" Naruto exclaimed from the floor as he pushed himself up onto his knees, sending a glare at the dark haired boy, who straighten in his desk slightly and turned his head in the direction of the seething boy.

"What, are you blind?" He asked, smirking cockily. " Why don't you watch where you're going? Haven't you ever heard of the term 'pick up your feet when you walk'?"

Naruto stood up, glaring daggers at the boy, who was still smirking, but not looking him in the eye. The class had grown eerily quiet, some of them looking bewildered while others looked in between shocked and awed.

"Why you little..!" Naruto started, growling at the boy.

"Ahem.." Kakashi said, attempting to get their attention, which worked apparently.

"Naruto..Why don't you take your seat.. Sasuke..Uh.." He said, trying to think of what he should be saying. It was strange enough that Sasuke had said such a large group of words in one sitting, not to mention.. Pulled a stunt like that. "Let's try not to kill our new classmate, ne?" He tried, giving an akward chuckle. And with that, he dropped the subject, moving to the board and picking up a piece of chalk to start class.

He wasn't a strict teacher, so something as trivial as a small feud..If you could call it that. Well, this was the first time..But, what could ya do.

Naruto slouched in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest and scowling at the back of the whoever's head it was that was in front of him. He shot a glare at the prick next to him, Sasuke was it? Either the bastard was ignoring him, or was completely oblivious.

"Hey man, what the hell was that all about?" Someone whispered to him from the desk on his other side. He glanced over, seeing another boy with messy brown hair, two red marks marring either of his cheeks.

The blonde shrugged, pouting slightly. "How the hell am I supposed to know, the guys just an ass." He whispered back. The other boy looks thoughtful, as if the answer didn't really make sense to him. Well sure, that was plausible..

"He ran into me in the hallway before I got here..Or I ran into him..Well we ran into eachother." Naruto explained in a whisper, not wanting to interrupt the class. "I guess it was pay back for what I said." He said, turning back to face the front of the room, silently plotting his revenge on the asshole.

"Well..You can't really blame him there..You mus-" He heard the guy next to him saying. He scowled in irritation and glanced back at the boy.

"What?"

"I said you can't blame him for bumping into you, he'd blind so-" Wait a minute. Naruto leaned closer to the boy.

"Come again?" He asked, paling slightly.

"I said he's blind. You know he can't see."

Naruto gaped. 'Well shit.'

TBC. ;x
